How to get from Koh Lipe to Koh Tarutao
Koh Lipe to Koh Tarutao Ferry
Traveling from Koh Lipe to Koh Tarutao takes you between two of the most striking islands in Satun province, at the southern tip of the Andaman Sea. Koh Lipe, known for its powder-white beaches and lively pier-side town, sits just a short hop from Koh Tarutao, the largest and most rugged island in the Tarutao National Marine Park. Most travelers board a speedboat directly from Koh Lipe's Pattaya Beach pier, arriving at Ao Pante Malacca, the park headquarters pier on Koh Tarutao where rangers check permits and visitors register before heading inland.
When the route operates
This is a seasonal route: boats run only during selected months of the year, in line with Tarutao National Park's own opening dates. Outside this window, Koh Tarutao is closed to visitors and no scheduled ferries operate, since the park limits access during the monsoon months to protect its beaches and reefs. If you are searching outside selected months of the year, plan your Koh Lipe stay around a different island hop instead: connections from Koh Lipe to Koh Adang or to the mainland pier at Pak Bara run for more of the year, or check back closer to the reopening date before booking.
Transport, operators and journey time
speed boat services cover this crossing, operated by Bundhaya Speed Boat, with 1 during the open season. The crossing itself is short, typically around about 1 minutes, though actual timing depends on sea conditions and the exact pier your boat calls at on Koh Lipe. Onboard facilities vary by boat but commonly include onboard facilities. Koh Tarutao has no ATMs, shops or moorings for onward transfers, so most visitors treat this as a day trip or a short camping stop on the island rather than a base for a longer stay.
Prices and booking
Fares for this route start from ฿700 per person, plus the separate national park entrance fee collected on arrival at Ao Pante Malacca. Seats are limited during the short operating season, especially around Thai public holidays, so booking ahead is worth doing as soon as the schedule opens. Planning the return leg too? Book the Bundhaya Speed Boat service back from Koh Tarutao, or check our Koh Tarutao to Koh Lipe ferry page for the reverse timetable and pier details before you travel.
Note that Koh Lipe to Koh Tarutao is a different route from Koh Lipe to Koh Tao. The latter is a separate, much longer connection toward Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand, not this short Andaman Sea crossing. If that is the journey you meant to search for, use our dedicated Koh Lipe to Koh Tao route page for accurate operators and timings rather than this page's schedule.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to print my ferry ticket or is mobile ok?
You don't need to print your ticket. Your boarding voucher is in your account: open Bookings, then View trip details, and click Download PDF. On the day of travel, show the QR code on it — on your phone is fine — to the ferry operator staff at the pier named on your ticket, and they will direct you to your boat.
If you'd prefer paper, print the PDF yourself.
What happens if my ferry is cancelled due to weather?
We are sorry when weather stops a sailing. Ferries usually run in rain; speedboats are more often stopped by rough seas.
If your trip is cancelled because of weather, your booking in Bookings shows a message once our team has confirmed the cancellation. You can then either move to the next available service with Change this booking, or cancel with Cancel & refund for a full refund.
If the sailing is running but you choose not to travel, the normal cancellation policy applies.
Why is my account locked?
We lock an account for a short time after several failed sign-in attempts in a row. It is an automatic safety measure: it stops someone else guessing your password, and it happens whether or not the person typing was you.
You do not need to contact us. The lock lifts on its own — see How long am I locked out for?
What is the difference between a locked and a blocked account?
Locked is automatic and temporary. It happens after repeated failed sign-in attempts and it lifts by itself — within a minute in most cases.
Blocked is a decision made by our team, and it does not lift on its own. If your account is blocked you will need to contact us; waiting will not change it, and neither will resetting your password.
If you are not sure which applies to you, get in touch and we will tell you.
How do I unlock my account now?
Wait, and try again. Every lock lifts on its own — a minute the first time, and never more than an hour however many attempts have failed. There is nothing to click and nobody to contact.
If you have forgotten your password, do not keep guessing: each wrong attempt makes the next wait longer. Use Forgot password instead. Resetting your password gets you straight back in.
My account locked but I never tried to sign in
Then someone else was trying to sign in as you, and the lock did its job — it stopped them.
Your account is safe: a lock means the attempts failed. Nobody got in. You do not have to do anything, and the lock will lift on its own.
We would still recommend two things:
- Change your password, especially if you use the same one on another website.
- Add an authenticator app in your account security settings, so a password alone is never enough to sign in as you.
If you get these repeatedly, contact us and we will look into it.
